In one particular competition in 1969, he won the First, Second and Fourth Prizes. He so impressed the judge Mudliyar Amarasekara (one of the most famous Sri Lankan Artists), that he offered Jayantha a one year scholarship to his art school. Unfortunately, as a child, Jayantha felt that one does not need to learn art formally, and did not take the scholarship, a decision he regrets. Once out of school, Jayantha took to commercial art, working in such renowned agencies like Zenith Advertising, Intersel Advertising, Nadarajah Press and Vision Advertising. He started his own advertising company, Impetus Limited, in 1981.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90364\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90364 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Jayantha-Silva-Artist-arts-3.jpg\" alt=\"Jayantha Silva - Artist\" width=\"500\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000080;\">Jayantha Silva Arts<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Since he started his new company Jayantha decided to return to his childhood love of painting.

He is a perfectionist who strives for excellence. He attributes his talent to his habit of actively looking at the environment everywhere he goes, and also to his photographic memory which enables him to see something and store it in his mind, for recall many months or years later. He also has the ability to see a finished work, when we would see only a blank canvas. His forte is painting the human figure. Even as a child he loved to paint figures and nudes, at a time when children did not have the access to see such images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jayantha feels that anyone can be a good artist, as everyone has good eyesight, muscle control, and the ability to observe and appreciate a subject. He enjoys doing paintings with charcoals, pastels and acrylics. He says that many are going into art as a profession to cater to the growing demand of the public to purchase original art for their domestic and corporate locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jayantha\u2019s 15<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Solo Exhibition was held once again at the Lionel Wendt from 23<sup>rd<\/sup> to 25<sup>th<\/sup> November 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jayantha had a online Exhibition called \u201cExpressions 16 online\u201d on face book in 2020<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And opened his 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Art Gallery in December 2020 at 72\/11, Library Road, Maharagama.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90362\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90362\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Jayantha-Silva-Artist-arts-1.jpg\" alt=\"Jayantha Silva - Artist\" width=\"500\" height=\"384\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jayantha Silva Arts<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayantha Silva &#8211; Artist photos Source:srilankanartgallery NIC No: 551272311V Studio: 179\/9, Suhada Mawatha, Pannipitiya, Sri Lanka.
